Head coverings made and torn away · dominant
In Ezekiel 13:18, the feminine plural absolute form occurs in the clause about making coverings “for the heads of every height”; in Ezekiel 13:21, the feminine plural construct form occurs in the promise to tear them off. The APB renders these clauses with “make veils” and “tear off your veils.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “veils” in both verses, first as items made for heads and then as items torn off. This rendering confirms the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolating every lexical detail.
